Parfums MDCI Le Barbier de Tangier ~ new fragrance

French niche line Parfums MDCI has launched Le Barbier de Tangier, a new fougère fragrance.

If you have ever bemoaned the fact that old-school barbershop fougeres have gone the way of dinosaurs, then, ahem, may we introduce you to Le Barbier de Tangier? Soap, pine, lavender, moss….one can almost feel the scrape of the barber’s blade against our cheek and hear the snap as he pulls his leather strap taut.

[...] A surprisingly touch of apple and pineapple adds a clean, sporty freshness, and ambroxan adds a haunting ambergris note complete with its silvery driftwood feel. Clean, spicy, mossy, and charmingly direct, we would be surprised if this fragrance wasn’t an immediate hit with wet shavers and lovers of retro masculines.
